For years, I kept throwing my movie stubs in a dresser drawer and gave them no more thought. My mother in law gave me a box that hangs in the wall to keep concert ticket stubs in. Since all my concert stubs were already in an album, I started using it for movie tickets. As I went through that drawer, I had stubs dating back to 1997 when they released Star Wars.

Same here. Full disclosure, I've never owned nor listened to a Gorillaz album in full aside from the first one once. I have always liked their singles. "Cracker Island" and "New Gold" both caught my ear, so I figured I would give the whole thing a chance. But having no frame of reference from past albums, I do enjoy their new one. I'd really like to go see them live.

Primus has done it several times. They've performed Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Frizzle Fry, Pork Soda, Green Naugahyde, Wonka, and Desatruating Seven. Most recently, they toured performing Rush's "A Farewell to Kings" in its entirety. Les Claypool's Frog Brigade is gearing up to perform Pink Floyd's "Animals" this Spring, which they also did 20 years ago.

I've seen Steely Dan perform Aja in its entirety. They were doing a tour where they would play it one night, then The Royal Scam the next.

I once saw Roger Waters perform Dark Side of the Moon. He's also toured The Wall.

I also once saw Reel Big Fish perform Turn the Radio Off except they skipped Beer and saved it for the encore.

They Might Be Giants tour performing all of Flood (sometimes in reverse order) every few years.

Many years ago, Weezer toured performing Blue Album one night, then Pinkerton the next.

Thankfully, the mall in my town is still doing very well. I can't think of one empty store front. There isn't another shopping center like it for at least a 60+ mile radius.

The mall in my wife's hometown shares a story similar to this one, though. No anchor stores left unless you count Dunham's. There's a Jo Ann Fabric, a Bath and Body Works, a few local shops, and a Radio Shack. You read that right. The only place left in the food court is a pretzel joint.
